Graphics Card compairison

[Disneyreject]

So I am wondering how much better on graphics card is than the other considering the price difference.

ASUS HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2 Radeon HD 7850
$219.99

vs.

XFX HD-687A-ZHFC Radeon HD 6870
$179.99

You should go for GTX 660 at that price point .

I am fine with nvidia cards. In fact they are the only kind I have ever had (haven't tried Radeon yet). But I figured since my new motherboard/processes are AMD I would go for the trifecta. I don't know if it matters or not.

Is a GTX 660 that much better than the 7850?

If the GTX is the better choice I have an EVGA card in mind already.

having all amd does not make any difference other than the amd overdrive...one centralised tool for the whole system tweeting and monitoring.
the gtx 660 is a little better than the 7850...a good choice indeed I would say.
